Praise and worship




To praise is to proclaim or describe the glorious attributes of God with homage and thanksgiving. We should give thanks to the Lord everyday and for everything. I myself give thanks for the sun or rain, just being able to wake up another day, and still having a job. When we praise God we are showing how thankful we are. And to worship is to show profound religious devotion and respect to; adore or venerate. Ok so devotion and respect, singing songs and praying to lift Gods name high. I don't feel a lot of churches do this enough today. It takes a back seat and everything has a time line to follow. God don't want to be put on a time line, he wants us to stand up loud with praise and worship. Sunday at our church that's all we did, some gave testimonies and some rededicated their life to Christ.

Why and How could God use me.

A lot of us ask this. It may be because of our past that we ask. We all do it, I was before I said ok I'll do this blog. It may not be something big for all. Sometimes all it takes is telling someone hey or asking how they are doing. You never know how bad someone may feel because they are alone. We should show kindness, love and concern for one another. God can use anyone at anytime. If your asking yourself could he use me the answer is always yes. And just because you are different just means you can touch someone others can't.

Being Holy

I would like to touch on being holy. We should be holy as the Lord is holy. So we should be humble, not thinking we are better than anyone in any way. James 3:6 "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble". We are not to speak evil or judge another, nor are we to boast. Being holy is being more like God. I know that I myself fall short, but I want to be as holy as he. You never know, the homeless,poor, or just someone who is different could be your Jesus in disguise.

Battle for souls

The battle is going on all the time for our souls. We must fight and charge to the front of the line. We shouldn't run, put our guard down or sit on the fence. We must be ready and know our enemy. Satan is real and is out for all of us. He knows our weakness and will try his hardest to take over. He has hit me hard using friends, our preacher, and even my own father when I started thinking about ministering to others. We must have the whole armor of God. There is no stop to the war at hand and with God in our life we can beat Satan. If we stay with the Lord and walk with him, Satan will run, and we should not run from him but fight in the Lords name.

                                     Ephesians  6:11
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

                                      14-17

put on the breastplate of righteousness, shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace, taking the shield of faith, take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God.

Darkness

We have two kinds of darkness, a spiritual and literal darkness. The spiritual darkness is being lost, not knowing God as your savior and being in a world of sin. Then we have the literal darkness that some of us choose, of wearing all black, liking skeletons and just being different. I will tell you this, it doesn't matter what you wear or like, as long as you have faith and try to live your life by the Lord, he does not judge you. God brings it all down to one thought, and thats just knowing him as your savior. We should always show love to everyone we meet.l Love is very important in every day life. With some Christians, no one knows what they are for, only what they're against, because of judgment.                  
                               Psalm 71:8
Let my mouth be filled with your praise and with your glory all the day.
